I thought it would be fun to share those little gems here.
Mine recently rubbed my pregnant belly and said, "Baby!" Then, without missing a beat touched my boob and exclaimed, "Booby!" 😵‍💫
And: while I was using the toilet came over to me, patted my leg and said, "Good job!" 👏

Got any to share? 😊

Was out for an after dinner walk with my toddler a couple nights ago. DC was dawdling a bit, so I encouraged catching up by saying, C'mon little love. Walk beside mummy, please. DC happily replied, Okay little mummy, I'm coming! 🥹😂🩷

Picks up toy phone “Hello, nice to meet you… Who are you?”

Picks up toy phone “Hello, nice to meet you… Who are you?”

My daughter pretends to use things (often her shoe for some reason) as a phone to talk to her dad (she gives him something to hold too) and says 'ring ring' when he answers she then takes the 'phone' away from her ear, and pretends to press a button on it to hang up on him! 😂
I have no idea where she got this from- we both rarely talk on the phone let along hanging up on anyone!

My Grandson when he was nearly three .. kept waking round the living room shouting.. you beef head...you beef head... you beef head..
His Mum asked him where he got it from.. his reply..
It's what Granny says to her cat and dog when they keep making noises.. apparently l was saying " you've been fed"
🤣

🤣 I nearly wet myself reading this.

Feels like this was probably only funny to me because I was there.

I was appreciating a beautiful tree covered in spring blossoms. 'Look at how stunning that tree is! The pinks are so delicate, wow!' without skipping a beat, in the same time of awe and wonder my tot says 'yes mummy, it's beautiful...and (voice gets even more dreamlike, like she's really experiencing awe)...look!! i can see a car!!!'

We live in the middle of a city, next to a main road 😂

My niece was the best one. I gave her a gift, upon unwrapping she said:

Niece: "oh wow!! It's just what I always dreamed of!!"
Nieces mum: "What is it?"
Niece: "I don't know!"

😂

My 3 year old was sitting on the toilet while I made dinner. He shouted through. 'Mama can you knock my teeth out?' To which I replied 'why?' He said he wanted his big teeth and needed his baby teeth out for them to come through! 😆

I get this threat regularly! 😂

The other day I had gone in the loo. Two seconds later my preschooler barges in and says very sombrely “This door is my ENEMY.” 😂 How does she even know what an enemy is!

Me - "right shall we get you dressed and ready?"
DS (2yrs,3m) - "no, I'm a good boy!"

He hates getting ready😄

Awwww!

Getting dressed is terrible.

My DC got so irate the other day that they phoned my mum to tell her I was dressing DC.

Scirocco · 26/04/2024 10:25

DC - (bites their own arm, speaking with their arm in their mouth) Ow.

Me- if it hurts then maybe stop doing it?

DC - No.

Mumtobabyhavoc · 26/04/2024 14:29

DC: Mummy, look at the bird. (bird flies away)
Mummy, where did she go?

Me: She went to Peru.
(We've been watching a lot of The Adventures of Paddington cartoons. It's my go-to answer lately)

DC: No, she went to the coffee shop, not Peru.

My first son (now 13) was quite an early talker and absolutely loved his food…

One day we were sitting at a table in a busy restaurant waiting for our meal and he was grumpy because he was hungry.

I said to him “Be patient darling, that man will bring your food soon.”
He turned around and shouted, “MAN, PASTA, NOW!”

It was his first ever sentence and the people around us in the restaurant were killing themselves laughing because he was so small and soooo loud!

My DD aged 3 calls her pyjamas 'twojamas' because they're in two bits ie top and bottoms.

RubiesandRose · 26/04/2024 18:28

When my now 24 year old daughter was 4, I took her to a local petting farm.

It was lambing season, so lots of families with young children were gathered round a pen with some new born lambs in who were fast asleep, all very cute and everyone was oohing and aahing.

I called Dd over to look and she strolled over, peered in and announced in a loud and emphatic voice "they're dead!" Cue horrified looks from the other parents rushing to reassure their offspring that they were indeed only sleeping!!

My toddler DS came up to me with a tape measure, did some serious measuring and declared me to be "half past three"

We have this all the time.

Mummy you're 200 miles an hour and daddy is 3 kilometres.

Mumtobabyhavoc · 30/04/2024 14:38

@chelsea @RubiesandRosedefinitely situations for, "things kids say" category! You must wonder where the time has gone, though. ☺️

@cinnamonbiscuit that's logical, though, isn't it! ☺️

@Saisong @SometimesIDowonder when did your dc begin measuring or talking about distance/length? Mine is curious about time and last few days will ask what time something happened. Mummy, what time did Havoc wake up? Mummy what time did you make breakfast?

Great thread. Smile

My older one was not verbal until he was aged about 5, so this was after he was a toddler. But once he pointed at footage of a then-Prince Charles and asked who he was. I said he was Prince Charles, the Queen's son and would be King when the Queen died. He looked most alarmed and asked; 'Has anyone let her know?'

My 2yr 3m old, sees a toy snake in the charity shop, "oh look at that snake. It's a bit cute"
His new favourite thing is to call things cute, it's so sweet😄
